I had a 1x1 piece of hickory kick past me 12' to the wall, put a 1/2"
deep dent in a solid-core door leaning there then bounce back, hit the
opposite wall 25' feet away, and land on the floor in front of the saw.

So this piece traveled a total distance of 37 feet? It traveled 12' in one
direction, hit a door, turned 180 degrees and traveled 25 more feet??? Was
the second leg of its trip mostly sliding on the ground? How powerful was
the saw and did the piece fly off at face level?

Think semi-elastic collision and, if the door was leaning against the
wall, angle of incidence vs. angle of reflection.
